How do we know that Jesus is present where two or more are gathered?

Jesus’s assurance of His presence is clearly stated in Matthew 18:20, 'For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' This promise emphasizes the importance of communion among believers, showing that the Lord Himself joins us in our gatherings. The application for believers is clear; when Christ promises to be present, we are called to recognize and seek fellowship with Him and each other within the church context. Such gatherings offer solace and strength in the faith as we come together to hear the gospel and worship. Our hearts should reflect the commitment to prioritize being in the presence of Christ with fellow believers.
